Lady Dragons Track Team Undefeated and Legendary

Genoa, AR– Just before the first Genoa Central home football game, the Lady Dragons Track Team of 2016-2017 took to the sideline. Coach John Murphy walked out of retirement to address the crowd of Dragon fans present. In his presentation, he noted that the Lady Dragons have now been state champions three times in a row. This season, the coach’s last season with them, they were not only state champions, but they stood with a record of 9-0.

As Coach Murphy spoke, he noted the hardships and the triumphs of many of the young lady’s present. He also noted that unlike a football or basketball game, when these ladies walked onto the track, they were up against several other teams. Each young lady was recognized publicly and congratulated by the coach as they received their championship rings.

Later just before the game the stands were dotted with Lady Dragons wearing T-shirts printed with “Undefeated, Legendary, and 9-0”. They proudly showed their rings to family and friends as their coach visited with several of the spectators. It was apparent that friends, family, and school members are very proud of the accomplishments of this team.

The Lady Dragons are the 2016-2017 State 3A Champions and the District 7 3A Champions. One school employee noted they already have a trophy case full and now they are adding another championship to long string of excellence.

The Four States News would like to extend our congratulations Lady Dragons and Coach John Murphy on an outstanding and excellent championship record.

Texarkana, AR- In 2018, the world will recognize the 100th anniversary of the year that the first great worldwide conflict ended. It was called the "Great War", "The War to end all Wars," and eventually "The First World War," or "World War I". The war would originate in Europe and drag almost all nations into it. It would see the first major use of air power to gain an upper hand on scouting enemy troops and eventually the first air-to-air combat casualties would begin to pile up. It would be the last war to see any major use of cavalry troops and the first to see iron vehicles rolling to kill both troops and civilians. Trench warfare, only introduced in previous wars when armies were severely outnumbered, would become a normal day on the front. Gas would be used to kill troops, and the bertha gun, a fully automatic machine gun, would introduce the world to the ability to kill like never before. Despite all the stories, sometimes lost with the history of the second war, the surprising fact is that in 2018, it will be one hundred years since the guns went silent. The Arkansas WWI Centennial intends to ensure that the year is marked and remembered for generations to come.
